Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, lays a memorial wreath today during Anzac Day ceremonies at Camp Pleasantville in St. John's. The ceremony commemorates the 1915 First World War battle at Gallipoli on Turkey's Dardanelle Peninsula. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was the only North American unit to take part in the battle, which ended in a stalemate. Anzac is an acronym for the Australia New Zealand Army Corps.

I'm a Newfoundlander living in Australia and attended a dawn service in southern New South Whales this past ANZAC day. Even though The Royal Newfoundland Regiment played a minor role in Gallipoli in comparison to the ANZAC troops they still mention our regiment in each of their ceremonies. It's great to see that we do the same!
